Prolonged wake-up from hibernation

Archive
1

Reinstalled Windows 10 and all programs recently. Installed Norton 360. (Previously had used Kaspersky for many years, but politics overcame my older distrust of Norton as bloatware.)

Now waking from hibernation takes 5 minutes until acceptable functionality, with serious continuous hard drive activity.

'Permanently' disabling auto-protect before hibernating reduces this to just over 2 minutes (and then re-enabling).

What is Norton doing that gums up the works and (apparently) thrashes my hard drive(s)? What does it 'think' might have changed during hibernation?

Is there any way to reduce this apparently pointless, obstructive activity, short of uninstalling Norton?

 

(Also, I now seem to have two instances of Norton running (System tray & Task manager view), with no way to 'end task' either one.)

Thank you for the reply.

I tried the auto-fix option, but haven't tried hibernation yet. I'll re-reply when I have.

(BTW, I do understand what hibernation is :-) )

first thing is to know that hiberbation is not allowing your system to fully shut down, its like if you paused a movie ( goes to pause or sleep mode)

changing that setting or option i would think help with the start /set up time

also may want to run the auto fix tool since you mentioned a new install of it

in classic mode at top right click help

on the left click get support

let that run, sometimes it will find a installation issue

after that runs it will note any problems found and usaully want you to restart
